My paycheck did not deposit. My employer has asked for an additional week to pay me for this week in addition to next weeks wages. He also informed me he will pay me an additional weeks pay if I will stay on. My first phone calls were to the other plumbers at the shop. They didn’t get paid either. They intend to sit it out and see what happens. This is their first time dealing with a negligent employer. I know better. The owner of the shop showed up to work this past Monday with another quad cab GMC Sierra Denali, a 90k truck.
My next two phone calls were to the general contractors I am to meet this morning to go over change orders and arrange heavy equipment for excavating, and inform them I am no longer in my current job and they will need to call the (former) office to get it sorted. I do not replace pipes that transfer shit and other human waste for funsies.
Looks like it’s a three day weekend instead. Time to get my posting numbers up. Monday I’ll be calling other plumbers to see if there’s a spot available elsewhere.
I’d see if the GCs wanna hire you directly, people don’t want to be in business with folks who are going bankrupt
Your company is going bankrupt by the way in case it isn’t obvious
Oh hell yeah it’s going bankrupt. I’ve been thinking about it all day, and I think there were signs I just overlooked… I’ve more or less been given carte Blanche to do what I need to do without having to justify expenditures for the most part, but lately they’ve been pecking me to death over stuff like buying ice and water for the day on the company card. The company card has changed twice. The company gas card has changed twice. I’ve gone to buy pipe and fittings at supply houses and our shop accounts have had 60+ day balances and had to use the company credit card instead.
I got asked once to go ahead and pay for a 1,200 dollar order and they would have a check to reimburse me that afternoon. I’m not that stupid fortunately.
